Chapter 1907 Farewell Party
“We''ve already caused you enough trouble during this period. How could we possibly ept your gifts?
It should be us showing our respect to you.” Elisa waved her hand, firmly refusing to ept the rings.
However, Mrs. Ke said, “What are you talking about? Surely you don''t still consider me an outsider.”
At that point, Mrs. Ke frowned, looking at Elisa with clear disapproval.
Elisa shook her head. “Of course not.”
After she finished her sentence, Mrs. Keughed. “In that case, ept these rings.”
Elisa was about to decline, but Gareth stepped in to mediate. “Since it''s a gift from Mrs. Ke, you
should ept it. After all, didn''t you also bring something for her? It''s like a fair exchange between you
two.”
Upon hearing that, Mrs. Ke burst into heartyughter. Although the words were somewhat
nonchnt, they brought a sense offort to both of them.
Upon hearing that, Elisa graciously epted the rings.
And so, Mrs. Ke slipped a pair of jade rings onto the index fingers of the two individuals.
The jade rings, originally buried and dimmed by time, seemed to regain their vitality as soon as they
were worn.
The more Elisa looked at it, the more she liked it. Under the sunlight, the jade ring dazzled and caught
the eye.
Mrs. Ke was looking at the jade ring andughing, but herughter soon turned into sobs.
“Those jade rings were a token of love that Sodo''s grandpa gave me when he was young. They had
been stored at the bottom of my chest for all these years. I didn''t want to leave them to Sodo out of
concern he might sell them, nor did I want the jade rings to never see the light of day and be buried
with me. So today, I gave the rings to both of you, hoping that the jade rings can witness your
happiness in my stead.”
Mrs. Ke spoke at length, her eyes lingering on the two of them, reluctant to part.
Everyone knew in their hearts that after that meeting, it was uncertain when the next one would be.
A subtle air of sadness spread, leaving one at a loss for words.
Elisa looked at Mrs. Ke, promising that when she had time, she woulde to rx and visit her
with Gareth.
Mrs. Ke held back her tears, showing no insistence, only managing to nod vigorously.
Even someone asposed as Mrs. Ke would retreat when faced with familial affection.
The room had be unbearable to stay in. Every time Mrs. Ke saw the two of them, she couldn''t
help but think of the future, and tears would uncontrobly stream down her face.
After soothing Mrs. Ke, Elisa and Gareth decided to get some fresh air in the courtyard, quietly
awaiting the arrival of the farewell party in the evening.
At that moment, Anna came looking for them.
Her face was flushed, and she lowered her head, much like the first time she met Gareth.
But that time, it wasn''t Gareth who made her blush. Instead, it was Elisa.
Anna nced at Elisa cautiously and said, “Your farewell party is about to start. Actually, all the girls on
the ind like you very much. They think you are kind, intelligent, and brave. They believe you are the
perfect match for Gareth.” After saying that, Anna''s face turned even redder, as red as a monkey''s
bottom. “And I-I think so too.”

With that, Anna, blushing, made her exit. As she scampered off, she took a moment to remind the two
to attend the farewell party.
With a smile, Elisa agreed.
Perhaps due to the simplicity of the local customs, or perhaps because they remained unaffected by
the outside world, the people there had pure thoughts and treated others kindly.
As long as they saw others'' good side, they would let go of their previous prejudices.
The vige chief was like that, and so was Anna.
The farewell party began promptly in the evening.
Fine wine and delicious meat were on offer, and in addition, beautiful women and handsome men
danced around the bonfire.
Elisa couldn''t help but steal a few more nces at those men''s robust muscles and perfect physique.
Suddenly, everything before her eyes turned ck as arge hand reached out to block her entire field
of view.
